A smoother day

I made sure i started on stick. days always seem faster and 20 min shorter that way :)

I had no problems, just regular play.

Well on my last break, some 7-star hootie-hoo player came to play and raped the casino.
was was playing black and not just one or 2, we had to order black fills 2x! $10,000 each time, well he bought in for $1,000 and left with almost $16,000 and tipped less than 1% (about $130.00). Lucky for me he didn't play on my side, I just don't need the stress of that kind of action! i liked my 10.00 bettors very much yesterday! MY poor co-workers who had that side of the table tho worked their asses off, not only did they have HIM but they had a full side.

Weight Loss Challenge

my shift and coworkers are involved in a weight loss challenge. Every participant enters with 20 dollars. who ever looses the highest percentage based on their starting weight, wins the pot! I should be trying harder. Maybe i will crash diet for the last couple of weeks with Dr. Adkins LOL... I have lost a couple pounds since the weigh in, so i am not doing too bad. I want the money, but i am not by far the biggest person in the challenge. Will keep you posted. It is a 6 week challenge. 1 week is over, 5 to go! oh i think the pot is at 340.00! even the skinnies are participating!

I am so SICK of this

If i never hear another word about the situation, it will be too soon!

over the last 2 months, there has been a diamond or platinum total rewards card holder playing at the shit hole i work in. At 1st I took his as an average black guy with ghetto game etiquette. I placed nice to him because we are supposed to kiss the card holders' asses who are anything above gold-status. He tried making late bets and scamming dealers. He has offered me pay off if i help him cheat, he has mentioned another dealer as a helper in the same way. He has hit on me and bothered me the whole time. I have asked for extra table supervision the whole time, while getting this line from the floor-persons: "Just call no late bets" well it was not that easy or i am breaking down! i have fellow dealers who just do not communicate well [in English] or do their job sufficiently. I have had to baby sit them, baby sit this cheater, and provide excellent service to all the other players, and in the mean time i have a hand full of new/learning dealers i have to monitor and or teach! this is guy just kept taking or trying to take shots on us and all the other dealer dont say much. One day I get called down to corporate investigators who ask me if i want to wear a wire and help catch this guy, to play him and loosen him up until we get it arranged. another day i get called AFTER WORK, to the offices and i am assuming we are about to set up the sting opp. well the VP shows up with the shift manager from Days ( not even my shift), the police and a gaming investigator. I was interrogated and accused of helping the cheater. WTF is that all about- while i have complained and wrote reports and all to get rid of him, no one wants to believe me how it was. well i never got my increased table supervision until after the meeting. and find out he got 86'd from all of our properties. What ever, I am glad he is gone but it is still injustice to me and insulting to me.

Today I get called into the office to talk to a middle manager who has been couching me up to be what they are looking for in a floor supervisor so that i may advance.

he wants to hear all about it, all about the whole thing- what has been happening over the last 2 months. a few minutes into the conversation with him, another manager shows up with my direct supervisor. I am stressed and sick from going over it over and over again and hearing the same things from everyone.

plus i hear today after the meeting with the investigators i should have called the VP and discussed with him the plans the investigators had. but i had no idea what warranted calling the VP nor would i have known the VP didn't know about their plans.

The middle manager said I was not in trouble he just wanted to know more... Why the person he thought was the best dice dealer on the shift was in such a situation.


WHY? - I WILL TELL YOU WHY!

BECAUSE I AM ONLY **HUMAN**
